Offering up to three hours of internal recording, this fantastic looper will have you jamming forever with three synchronized stereo tracks, real-time effects, a master expression pedal, an ultra-wide pedalboard, and much more. The RC-300 will be your go-to looping pedal, no matter what instrument you play; you can create loops by plugging in a guitar, bass, or keyboard, or even connect a microphone to the phantom-powered XLR input and loop with percussion, stringed instruments, your voice -- you name it.

The Boss RC-300 has everything you could want for hours of looping fun.

Check out our exclusive run-down of the Boss RC-300 Loop Station Pedal:

Triple Stereo Loops

This Loop Station gives live musicians control over three simultaneous stereo tracks, each with its own set of dedicated volume knobs and transport-control footswitches. Getting started with the RC-300 is easy and straightforward. When you want to capture a song idea fast, use the Auto Recording feature, which starts recording the moment you begin playing your instrument or as soon as you start a connected audio player. Count-In mode provides a bar of rhythm before recording starts, and the Undo/Redo function lets you edit as you play. For instant jamming, tap in to the RC-300's preloaded audio backing tracks (bass tracks, piano tracks, and more).

Expanded Pedalboard

Thanks to its extra-wide pedalboard and oversized footswitches, you won't have to tiptoe around the RC-300. It sports an Expression pedal that can be assigned to a variety of parameters, enlarged footswitches for controlling Record/Play and Stop for each track, and a master All Start/Stop footswitch. Three independent faders provide immediate control of each track's output volume. If you need even more to step on, you have the option to connect your own external expression pedals and footswitches.

Loaded with FX

Sixteen onboard effects allow you to process your tracks and external input signals with Transpose, Flanger, Phaser, Modulator, vocal effects, and more. To activate a certain effect, all you have to do is hit a dedicated Loop FX footswitch. And with the expression pedal, you get hands-free control over the effects parameters in real time. Apply the effects to any single track as well as to the entire mix -- it's up to you.

Stay On the Beat with Built-In Rhythms

Better than a click track, the looper pedal has an onboard drum machine, so you can play along with rhythm patterns in the RC-300's sound library as you record. Choose from 83 rhythm types covering a range of genres, including rock, pop, and Latin. You can adjust rhythm volume with the turn of a knob, set the tempo incrementally, or set it via tap tempo. When you save a phrase, the rhythm type and time signature will also be saved. It's no big deal if you get slightly off the beat -- use the Loop Quantize feature to keep your recordings looped in time.

Convenient Connections

The USB port provides a handy way to back up loops externally, import and export WAV files between your computer and the RC-300, stream audio to a computer, and more. An XLR input complete with phantom power allows singers, percussionists, violinists, beatboxers, or anyone with a miked instrument to perform with the looper pedal. MIDI Sync allows an external device to control the tempo of the RC-300.

"the ultimate looper!!"

Overall:
i have bought almost every looper available in the last year or so. several of them were very nice. each had strong points and weak points.
the boss rc 300 is as close to my dream looper as i can get at this point in time.
it is VERY simple to use. i've read that some folks have had skips at the end of their loops and can tell you, that is an operator problem. all looping requires something from the operator even when quantize is working. my loops are seamless and have great sound quality.
i use this looper live, on the street along with a boss me-70 and roland qube street amp.
i run all off of a small booster battery and dc/ac inverter. i can play all day long and never run out of power. best of all, i have quality sound in a mobile rig.
i havent even scratched the surface of what the rc 300 can do. it is an amazing piece of equipment.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Lots of Features - Fun, but not perfect."

Overall:
Although I am still getting used to all of the tricks and techniques, the RC-300 was pretty easy to get started with. If you take the time to understand the options for each loop, then you'll avoid having the "gap" issues where the loops don't align...seriously, it's not that hard. The one disappointing thing is the expression pedal...it seems to be an all or nothing proposition at times, and it will power-up in the of position when it's off, and sometime when you go from max to min, it doesn't catch the "off" position, and just keeps affecting the audio. A quick wiggle of the pedal will usually fix it, but it shouldn't happen at all IMO.
